Vaporwave and Unicode Analysis

This article will explore the unique role that text plays in vaporwave music and art. Why do vaporwave tracks, albums, and artist names use stretched out fullwidth text, Japanese writing 変, and ?Ƭᖇ?ƝǤⵟ looking Unicode characters? Why are track titles sometimes formatted to look like FILENAME.AVI or Muzak Corp™ Song Title?

I didn't notice that Blank Banshee put an album out three weeks ago they definitely put it out quietly. I'm not the biggest fan but could be worth checking out if you haven't already.

EDIT: George Clanton (AKA: ESPRIT / Mirror Kisses) also put an album out in July which is not explicitly vaporwave but keeps that George Clanton feel that was in his old vaporwave releases.

Found this one in an old playlist. Funnily enough the first thing that sprung to mind was a memory of working out in the garage on a really hot day during the first COVID lockdown lol
